Passion Flower Hotel by ROSALIND ERSHNE dramatised for radio by BERT COULES with Moir Leslie
It's the heady days of 1962, and there's a serious omission from the curriculum of the eminently respectable Bryant House
Academy for the daughters of the disgustingly rich. Curiously enough, there's a similar lack at the neighbouring Longcombe School for Young Gentlemen. To remedy this glaring omission, under cover of darkness, the Bryant House gym is transformed into the glorious Passion Flower Hotel, where the lucky Longcombe boys can gather to watch, learn, and - for only a little extra - feel.
Directed by DAVID JOHNSTON Stereo (R)
